RRB Group D Exam 2025 The Railway Recruitment Board (RRB) has officially announced the schedule for the much-awaited Group D Computer-Based Test (CBT) for the year 2025. This large-scale recruitment aims to fill 32,438 vacancies and has already drawn massive interest, with over 1 crore applicants registered for the selection process. The CBT serves as the initial stage of the multi-level recruitment procedure, making it a vital hurdle for all aspiring candidates.
Exam Schedule and Pattern
The RRB Group D CBT is scheduled to begin on November 17, 2025, and will continue in multiple shifts across the country until the end of December 2025. The test will be conducted online and will last 90 minutes for most candidates. However, those who fall under the PwBD (Persons with Benchmark Disabilities) category and are using a scribe will get 120 minutes to complete the exam.
The paper will consist of 100 multiple-choice questions (MCQs), divided into four key sections:
- General Science
- Mathematics
- General Intelligence & Reasoning
- General Awareness & Current Affairs
Candidates must be cautious, as there will be negative marking — 1/3rd of a mark will be deducted for each incorrect response.

Complete Selection Process for RRB Group D 2025
RRB Group D recruitment is multi-tiered, and clearing each stage is essential to move forward in the process. Here’s a detailed look:

This is the screening stage. Candidates must achieve the minimum qualifying marks to proceed:
- UR: 40%
- EWS: 40%
- OBC: 30%
- SC: 30%
- ST: 30%
A relaxation of 2% in minimum marks may be granted to PwBD candidates if there is a shortage of candidates.
2. Physical Efficiency Test (PET)
This is a qualifying-only test, and candidates are shortlisted for it based on their CBT performance.
- For Male Candidates:
- Lift and carry 35 kg for 100 meters in 2 minutes in one go without putting the weight down.
- Run 1000 meters in 4 minutes and 15 seconds in a single attempt.
- For Female Candidates:

Candidates under the PwBD category are exempted from the PET but must undergo a medical examination instead.
3. Document Verification (DV) and Medical Examination
Those who pass both CBT and PET will be called for Document Verification, during which all original documents (educational certificates, caste certificates, identity proof, etc.) will be verified.
Once DV is cleared, candidates must appear for a Medical Exam to confirm their physical and mental fitness for the post they have applied for.
